battery degradation

[kort6776]

I took delivery of a '23 air GT with 19" tires this week, I charged the car to 100% and the read out only said 505 miles rather than 516 as a new car should. I am wondering if the car sitting in storage for X amount of days could cause this slight degradation.

A battery is degraded by both time and usage.

If it is aged without any usage, it still degrades.

Your battery gauge that displays 505 might not be accurate.

It might need to be recalibrated to show a higher number after that.

If they entered the new EPA data, it's not 516 anymore.

that's plausible, is the new data available?

I just got my car back, new battery installed and everything. I am charging it to 100% this morning, for the first time. I’m not anticipating 516 miles anymore.

Thing is, here is my car now at 95%:

500/0.95 = 526

Congrats for having longest range production EV in North America!!!

Not from the EPA, but a while back Lucid had an estimate of 500 from the 2024 GT on the website.

Can you check the API on what your battery capacity is?

Good idea! Let me go find the link.

I wish. It didn’t get quite that high at 100%. It topped out at 515 miles, two miles less than my first battery.

From what I can make out of the hieroglyphics - capacity in kWhr - 108.3? Really, I really don’t know what I’m looking at.
